The new Avengers movie starts right into action with Iron
Man, Black Widow, the Hulk , Hawk Eye and Thor battling to get into a
stronghold to reclaim Loki’s sceptre. The sceptre is being experimented by Hydra
and guarded by two mysterious twins with superpowers. The Avengers manage to
get the staff and the adventure begins.

I thought it was a great movie and I think it is better than
the first one. I liked how the Avengers are a good team of friends who banter,
argue and support each other. In the movie, the Avengers inner demons are
explored which influences their actions and motives. Tony Stark/Iron Man makes
a decision which puts the world in danger and causes conflict with the rest of
the team. Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Bruce Banner/the
Hulk have a budding romance but are hindered by their past. Steve Rogers/Captain
America is at odds with Tony Stark’s decisions. Thor wonders whether he will be
a good king to Asgard and fears that something more sinister in on the way. Lastly,
it is revealed that Hawkeye has more to live for than the other Avengers know.

The action sequences
are entertaining to watch and everyone gets their moment to shine. While there
is a lot of violence, I would feel comfortable with watching this film with
children. The Avengers fight an army of robots so there isn’t any bloodshed.

The acting was good
which was expected as the cast are notable actors. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor- Johnsonew played twins Pietro
and Wanda Maximoff also known as Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch fit nicely
in with the rest of the crew. The two get to show off their powers to the
fullest during the final battle sequence.

As always, the world
is saved by the end of the movie and with the promise a sequel. I think Marvel
fans won’t be disappointed with this movie.
Cannot wait to see this one. It's high on my movie-to-DVD list. It looks epic and any movie that pulls together all of (or many of) Marvel's heroes is a must see! Glad you liked it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is an epic film and I think you won't be disappointed.
DeleteThanks for the review Carlyn. I've been wanting to see this AND Mad Max even though I will probably end up waiting for them to come out on video. Hawkeye as I've mentioned in the past here on the blog is my favorite comic book hero of all time, so I'm happy that Marvel has included him in the movies even though he doesn't carry the same cache as the other heroes. I believe in the comic books Hawkeye also had a romance with Black Widow at one point. One of the things that made me like Hawkeye as a kid was that he was quite the ladies' man. haha He often got along quite well with both the female heroes and female villains having romances with Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Mockingbird. >.<
ReplyDeleteI read that as well about him.It's interesting about the different hookups in the marvel universe.
